Duh on me... it's right there in the LINT file:
# Under some circumstances it is necessary to make the default max
# number of processes per user and open files per user more than the
# defaults on bootup. (an example is a large news server in which
# the uid, news, can sometimes need > 100 simultaneous processes
running)
options "CHILD_MAX=128"
options "OPEN_MAX=128"
Dunno how I missed *that*... :)
